The design of a three-port radiating structure, integrating wide and narrow band antennas for cognitive radio applications, is presented. It consists of a UWB antenna for spectrum sensing and two narrow band antennas for wireless communication integrated on the same substrate. The UWB antenna covers the complete UWB spectrum (3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz) approved by FCC. In the two narrow band antennas, each antenna presents dual bands. In particular, the first narrowband antenna resonates at 6.5 GHz, covering the frequency band between 6.36 GHz and 6.63 GHz, and at 9 GHz, covering the frequency band between 8.78 GHz and 9.23 GHz, presenting minimum return loss values of 28.3 dB at 6.5 GHz and 20.5 dB at 9 GHz, respectively. Similarly, the second one resonates at 7.5 GHz, covering the frequency band between 7.33 GHz and 7.7 GHz, and at 9.5 GHz, covering the frequency band between 9.23 GHz and 9.82 GHz, presenting minimum return loss values of 19.6 dB at 7.5 GHz and 28.8 dB at 9.5 GHz, respectively. Isolation among the three antennas is less than −20 dB over the UWB frequency spectrum. These antennas are realized on a FR4 substrate of dimensions 30 mm × 30 mm × 1.6 mm. Experimental results show a good agreement between the simulated and measured results.

We have presented a design of multi-band micro strip antenna which is suitable for operating at a higher frequency and with moderate bandwidth also. Proper selection of dimension, patch, and position of feed is taken into consideration to achieve the target properties of the antenna. Different characteristics of antenna like return loss, VSWR, gain, directivity, and efficiency are verified for different frequencies. The maximum gain of the antenna is found to be more than 3dB at different frequencies and also achieves multiple bandwidths in the direction of max radiation. The proposed structure of the antenna is fabricated, simulated, and tested for obtaining the preferred performance in terms of S11, VSWR, gain and efficiency. The experimental results are verified with simulated results which are in good in accord. Proposed antenna bandwidth is found to be 200MHz to 700 MHz with frequency band from 5.70 GHz to 12.60 GHz.

A new compact planar notched ultrawideband (UWB) antenna is designed for wireless communication application. The proposed antenna has a compact size of0.182λ × 0.228λ × 0.018λwhereλis the wavelength of the lowest operating frequency. The antenna is comprised of rectangular radiating patch, ground plane, and an arc-shaped strip in between radiating patch and feed line. By introducing a new Tuning Fork-shaped notch in the radiating plane, a stopband is obtained. The antenna is tested and measured. The measured result indicated that fabricated antenna has achieved a wide bandwidth of 4.33–13.8 GHz (at −10 dB return loss) with a rejection frequency band of 5.28–6.97 GHz (WiMAX, WLAN, and C-band). The effects of the parameters of the antenna are discussed. The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed antenna can well meet the requirement for the UWB communication in spite of its compactness and small size.

Cognitive radio is regarded as a core technology to support wireless information systems. Spectrum sensing is one of the key steps to achieve cognitive radio technology. To address this problem in the presence of Alpha stable noise in wireless communication systems, we propose a nonparametric autocorrelation method, which takes advantages of the characteristics of signal autocorrelation and noise nonstationarity. The autocorrelated signal is distinguished from Alpha stable noise. As a result, the proposed method is immune from noise uncertainty. Simulation results show the validity of the proposed method under Alpha stable noise, for example, impulsive noise in wireless information systems.

AbstractIn this work, an UWB/narrow band reconfigurable elliptical-shaped monopole antenna for cognitive radio applications with sequential perception and operation modes is presented. The proposed approach consists in integrating a reconfigurable filter, in an UWB antenna ground plan, by the mean of four horizontal slots and integrated switches that allow inserting/removing/varying zeros and poles in the frequency response. By acting on the slot lengths in order to alter their resonance frequencies, the different switch configurations allow the antenna to switch between an UWB mode that could be used for the perception (sensing) and different narrowband modes, mono-band and dual-band, that could be used for the operation at 2.4 or/and 3.5 GHz. To validate the concept, an experimental prototype has been fabricated and a good agreement between the simulated and the measured S-parameters has been obtained. While the presented work uses the presence/absence of a perfect conductive strip (PEC) to model real switch operation, it is believed that the obtained results conjugated with previous work using real switches on a very similar structure allows validating approach.

The increased usage of wireless communication has created a wireless frequency shortage problem. Cognitive Radio (CR) has attracted public attention, as one of the solutions that can resolve this issue. In this paper, the authors built an actual CR system testbed using the SDR (Software Defined Radio) platform, USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral) board, the SDR development toolkit, GNU Radio, and Raspberry Pi3, which is a single board computer. They configured Secondary User (SU)s with Raspberry Pi3 for straightforward and portable test environment. The authors' testbed performs spectrum sensing based on energy detection and determines whether the channel is occupied or not. Experimental results not only show performance but also provide their testbed that works well in multi-hop environments.

ABSTRACTSemi-insulating (SI) silicon carbide (SiC) was evaluated as a candidate material for dielectric substrate for patch antennas suitable for monolithic antenna integration on a SiC semiconductor chip. Computer simulations of the return loss were conducted to design microstrip patch antennas operating at 10 GHz. The antennas were fabricated using SI 4H-SiC substrates, with Ti-Pt-Au stacks for ground planes and patches. A good agreement between the experimental results and simulation was obtained. The radiation performance of the designed SiC based patch antennas was as good as that normally achieved from antennas fabricated using conventional RF materials such as FR4 and Rogers. The antennas had the gain around 2 dBi at 10 GHz, which is consistent with the conventional antennas of a similar size.

This paper presents a 6-gon-shaped bandpass and notch filters for Cognitive Radio (CR) applications. The bandpass filter consists of a 6-gon-shaped multiple mode resonator with interdigital coupling at both ends. The notch filter is derived from bandpass filter by embedding four identical Embedded Open Stubs (EOS) nearby the multiple mode resonators that introduce narrow band suppression in the desired passband. Such bandpass filter with notching band is required in practical CR systems in order to effectively sense the spectrum and avoid the interference between the systems working in same environment with the same frequency. The filter is simulated using an electromagnetic solver, IE3D. The group delay obtained for bandpass filter is below 0.2[Formula: see text]ns. With the above structural features, the overall dimension of the filter is [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mm2 and the fractional bandwidth (FBW) of the proposed bandpass filter is more than 100% with optimal performances in terms of insertion loss, return loss, group delay and phase.
